Larry David Was Born To Play Bernie Sanders On ‘SNL’

Despite being one of the greatest comedic minds of his generation, Larry David, who wrote for SNL in 1984-1985, only had one sketch make it to air. No hard feelings, though, because the Curb Your Enthusiasm and Seinfeld creator showed up during SNL 40 and made an appearance during tonight’s cold open, playing presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, naturally.

There was a lot of screaming, and a prediction for 2016: President Clinton/Vice President Sanders. If it means Kate McKinnon and Larry can keep playing off each other, perfect. Also, he was the first old cast member to return, but he wouldn’t be the last. Larry’s daughter wasn’t impressed.

Getting Larry David was perfect. If only they didn’t end the sketch with Sanders saying he was going to be Hillary’s running mate, and then Weekend Update for some reason lumping him in with Webb, O’Malley and Chaffee as “old white people who are going to lose.”

I am a Republican, so it is unlikely I’d vote for a Democrat. But if I did, it would be Sanders. I don’t know how any of you Libs, could, in good conscience, vote for Hillary. Everything I have read and seen leads me to believe she is a bad person and just a phony politician that will say anything for votes. I don’t know how a real Lib could vote for anyone but Bernie. Please DO NOT foist Hillary upon us. [www.amzn.to]
